How Canadians are born.
#MeanwhileInCanada

Time for a proper #introduction!
I'm a neuronal cell biologist, leading the NeuroCyto Lab in Marseille, France. We study the functional architecture of the axon down to the nanoscale. We ask: how do the cytoskeleton and scaffolds contribute in making this unique compartment both resilient and adaptable in physiological and pathological conditions? Part of this consists in making the best possible images of cells using advanced microscopy techniques - and these images can also be beautiful!

The longer I work in tech, the more clear it is to me what my problem is:
I have ethics.

why did i even buy this, what a dumb idea lmao

#JohnMastodon doesn’t drive a Tesla. He rides a scooter. He landed the first ever 900 on a scooter but it wasn’t caught on film so people say it never happened. Those of us who have met him know better.

#JohnMastodon: A Limerick

There was a young fellow named John,
Who was banned by a troll called Elon.
No wait, that's a mistake.
"John" is actually fake.
But you should still all Join Mastodon.

#JohnMastodon really isn't getting the level of appreciation that he deserves, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

I am getting various responses to this like, "Looking forward to your twitter archive creator! What happens with my twitter data when I upload it to your service? How do you expect me to upload a multi-gigabyte zip file?"

You don't know me very well. There is no upload at all. There's no service, no server. The data stays on your computer. Everything happens in the browser client

We are all so trained to assume that "web application" means "a server does the work"!

Google introduces end-to-end encryption for Gmail on the web https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-introduces-end-to-end-encryption-for-gmail-on-the-web/ Baby steps, but in the right directions for sure.

It’s never not going to be funny that after years of hype about crypto-metaverse-subscriptions disrupting web2 incumbents, the backstop to Twitter’s sudden implosion was volunteers recreating Usenet with RSS.

Whilst Mastodon has been suspended from #Twitter, it had been trending all day.
That only ever works out for #Mastodon. 🖖
Welcome new Mastodonian’s. 🖖🖖🖖

Want to work on Mastodon full time? I’d like to pay a Rails dev for the next 3+ months to implement some auth improvements that matter to me but also just burn down bugs, make perf improvements, whatever is needed as this place grows. Remote 100% ok but ideally need 1+ hrs of Pacific time zone overlap, 3+hrs of GMT overlap, fair pay, meaningful work. [edit: email info@moth.social to discuss more] #fedihire #ruby #rails #job

Houston, we have a problem. (!!!)

freedom of speech as long as the speech is flattering to me

If you’re going to leave Twitter, please don’t
a) delete your account, because someone bad will steal your handle
b) delete your Tweets, because their existence doesn’t help Elon and it’s like burning the Library of Alexandria.

Twitter captures a real-time historical record of a couple of decades and the billions of individuals’ snapshots are irreplaceable.

The thought of all those tweets being erased makes me feel physically sick.

[please pass on if you agree.]

5/🧵 Mastodon and the broader Fediverse work using a protocol called ActivityPub.

If you're interested in how that works from a technical perspective, a good place to start is https://tinysubversions.com/notes/reading-activitypub/ by @darius

If you're curious about where that tech goes next, follow @cwebber who is CTO at @spritelyinst working on awesome stuff like https://github.com/ocapn/ocapn

I put @tomgauld's brilliant new comic for @newscientist alongside Ibn Al-Rabin's masterpiece “Le Verbe Prophétique” as demonstrating the ways you can do things in comics seemingly simple yet bewilderingly complex that can only be done in comics.

I will continue to run an ADS-B receiver in my window to track planes in my community using public, open source broadcasts, as I have been doing for almost a decade. Plane tracking is protected by the First Amendment and has facilitated many news stories.
